Isla Mujeres 2012 ~~ Day 8


Isla Mujeres 2012

Saturday Feb.18

~~Day 8  “Missed the sunrise….but GREAT sunset!”

WHAT?? No sunrise photo today?  How can that be?  Some sleepyhead either slept through the sunrise or perhaps it wasn’t photo worthy.  First photo of the day and it looks like the sun has been shining for some time!  Ah well, there’s a first time for everything!


Enjoying brekkies on the balcony again….Captain Jack Sparrow at your service!


Playa Norte…..paradise view….


On the way home there is a dance troupe performing by the market.  It was soooo hot in the afternoon sun but they smiled and shook it like pros!



Needing some shade after that, we relax on our east facing no-sun-in-the-afternoon balcony…..


The wonderful view from my Isladise chair…

We can’t linger for sunset at home tonight.  A few weeks before we arrived on Isla I received an email that started with…..”I'm not sure if you are used to getting random emails from the Isla Chatter Board, but I wanted to send you a quick note to let you know how much I LOVE reading your trip reports in the Isla Stories section…”  Yes, I get a few of these and have met some wonderful people this way!  So, of course we agreed to meet these fellow Isla lovers.  Sunset at Buho’s on Playa Norte was the designated spot.  We find Keith and Elisa sitting at the bar, drinks in hand.  Isla works her magic and within minutes, we’re chatting like best friends.   We almost missed the sunset!


Keith and Elisa….


Somehow the joke of the night was ‘how many times can we get a photo of Vince holding my purse’! 


We were having so much fun, I can’t remember where we ate….did we eat?  Don’t know, but we did drink!  Haha   Vince and I had planned to go to Jax to see Nick and Jon perform for the Island Time Fishing Festival.  Such a great cause and so much fun.  So all 4 of us head over to Jax, pay our cover charge and head upstairs and luckily find some great seats.


It also happened to be Jon’s birthday and he was presented with a huge cake that was shared with the crowd….after Jon was done with it!


There were a lot of tequila shots, but these guys are such great entertaining performers.  So talented!


Jon, feeding Nick some cake….


Vince put on my sunglasses, trying to appear cool….don’t think it worked though!


Too many giggles that night….had a wonderful time!  Our paths would cross often over the next week!
